I worked for Geppeddo for four seasons. When I started some of the collector dolls were quite nice, well made and good costumes. The most expensive doll sold as I recall was around $160.00. This would be for a large collectible, smaller ones would sell for $45 and everything in between. The most popular dolls were the 16" Fairy Tale & Dolls of the World series $35. Every year the quality seemed to drop. They went out of business because of many reasons one being business inexperience in handling success and super fast growth. The dolls were special for a while, then cheap porcelain dolls started appearing everywhere. Geppeddo's dolls lost quality also. I think very few of them hold any real increase in value but some might, best is getting back their sale price. After Christmas the dolls sold for up to 70% off. We never told people to expect the dolls to increase in value the only value is how they look to a person who would want them. I have one from 1998 Elizabeth, I wouldn't consider selling her! I think there are many like me that still really like a few of them. If you have any 16 in dolls they probably have little value due to a flood in the market. I don't know if this helps but I'll try and answer any questions you have. Nancy
